Whatever criticisms people may have of the relationism vs positionism debate, it has clearly sparked many necessary conversations. Football is obviously more analysed now than at any time in history. Every match is filmed from dozens of angles, wearable tech lets us track every millimetre of movement to the millisecond, and probabilistic models seem to be able to tell us what should have happened at any given moment. We see that this is having some impact on the game, but we also sense that the datafication of the game has missed something important. Relationism has tapped into the desire many have to express exactly what it is that has been left out.
